Redskins Free Agency 2016

[Schneed10]

Garcon and Boldin are pretty much the same player, except Garcon still has some quicks.

Does Boldin play ST? A WR3 or 4 probably has to play teams as well. Would be odd seeing him out there.

After visiting with the Washington Redskins on Wednesday, nose tackle Terrance Knighton is leaning toward accepting an offer with the New England Patriots, according to a person familiar with the situation.

It was nice of Pot Roast to come back to us and, im guessing, give us the right to match/beat the NE offer. SM seems to get this gentlemen agreement of "check in with us before you sign anything" more than I remember in the past.

Hard nosed guy but he'd be our #4. I'm not paying too much for a #4, especially since we still might draft a WR. Boldin's not an answer for succession planning for Garcon & Jackson.

I won't like this signing if it costs more than $2M.

Yeah. Fair enough.

Well, back in the Vinny days it was, "Hey, my next stop is Washington so you better throw a ton of money at me now before they do."

Hrm, do we trust Baker or the WT? Baker is saying he'll be signed.

Dropping 20-30 pounds isn't a huge improvement; he needs to double it. If he was 340-350 he would be so much more effective.

His market value might be so low that he might be hard to pass on. That being said, I'm still not sold.

Having a replacement who could play 2 full plays or, dare to dream, 3 in a row at full speed would affect the entire DL rotation over the course of a game.

Less snaps = more rest = more pass rush down the stretch.

Everyone, most importantly the starters, would be fresher when the 4th quarter rolls around.

Vernon Davis has signed with the Redskins

no details yet

[Chico23231]

Gotta think this is insurance for Niles Paul...Davis hasn't been very good the last 2 years. We had major issues with TE injuries last year, this coming season we shouldn't.

[Irrefutable]

They will keep at least 3 TEs. I do not think Carrier has not recovered.....9-12 month rehab

Derek Carrier Excited To Return From Injury

[Schneed10]

Davis is a half decent blocker. Also with no more FB on the roster we're likely to go with 4 TEs.

Hope it was a low cost deal. I think you're right Chico, probably insurance. And McCloughan thinking I know this guy, if I can get him to bounce back to a shell of his former self then I've got something.

Niles should be our clear #2 though if he can manage to rebuild his strength he lost following the injury. He's exactly the kind of attitude player you like to see on the roster. And he can block and uncover in the passing game. He can also do a little H back.

Good point, I totally forgot about him, LOL

Not even sure he would make the roster even if fully recovered.

[Chico23231]

The running game effing sucked from not enough TE blocking and tells with Compton comin in the game. Pauleson, Davis and hopefully Niles should give us much better blocking on the edge.

My thinking behind the Bolden interest was Redzone target/RB blocking.

Washington Redskins, TE Vernon Davis agree to deal

one year deal
